To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: Portland (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas).

In order to increase coffee production, the Jamaican Government's serious efforts were mainly to build a central coffee processing plant to facilitate coffee processing and raw bean grading, which did improve the quality but not very successfully. Canada, the largest buyer of Jamaican coffee in 1943, still could not accept such quality. In 1944, the Jamaican government set up a central coffee [water] treatment plant, where all coffee to be exported had to be processed and graded, and the quality of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee exported from Jamaica was getting better. The Jamaican Coffee Authority was established in June 1950 and the state is officially responsible for the quality of coffee beans for export. There are currently five government-certified 100% Blue Mountain Coffee processing plants: Wallenford,Mavis Bank,Old Tavern Old Inn, Silver Hill,Moy Hall.

In eight years, Jamaica exported more than 375 tons of pure Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee.

In 1932, the production of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee reached its peak, and more than 15000 tons of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee was harvested.

The Jamaican Coffee Industry Committee (theJamaicaCoffeeIndustryBoard) was established in 1950 to develop quality standards for Jamaican coffee and to monitor the implementation of quality standards to ensure the quality of Jamaican coffee. The Commission awarded special official seals to raw and roasted coffee exported from Jamaica, which is the highest-level national coffee institution in the world. At present, there are six kinds of marks that can represent the origin of Blue Mountain Coffee, such as Mafis River Embankment Central Factory (MBCE), Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (MHCCT), Portland Blue Mountain Coffee Cooperative Factory (PXXSH), Coffee Industry Association (Warren Ford), Coffee Industry Association (St. John's Peak) and Lanli (JAS).

By 1969, the situation had improved because the use of Japanese loans had improved the quality of production, thus ensuring the market. By now, this kind of coffee has reached the point of being feverishly loved.

By 1981, about 1500 hectares of land in Jamaica had been reclaimed for coffee cultivation, followed by investment in another 6000 hectares of coffee land. In fact, today's Blue Mountain area is a small area with a planting area of only 6000 hectares, and it is impossible to grow all the coffee marked "Blue Mountain" there.

Another 12000 hectares are used to grow two other types of coffee: Alpine Top Coffee and Jamaican Superior Coffee.

To this day, St. Andrews is still one of the three major producers of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, with the other two producing areas: Portland (Portland) and St. Thomas (St.Thomas).
